Direct Rebate Rates

Rebate rates let you combine vendors, vendors, and items, in order to configure which percentage will apply to each combination, taking into account the date of the sale.

Configuration

To set up a rebate rate, the following fields are available, grouped by their functionality:

General

Optionally, you can set a period of dates on which the rate will apply.

• No. This is the serial number that identifies the rate. It is automatically generated based on the serial number defined in the general setup, but it can be manually edited within the rate.
• Start Date: The date from which the defined rate will be valid. This field can be left blank.
• End Date: The date until which the defined rate will be valid. This field can be left blank. If both dates are blank, the rate will always be active.
• Description: An optional description to facilitate identifying the rate.

Rebate

Details of the rebate that will be generated when the rate applies.

• Rebate %: Indicates the percentage that will be applied to the purchase line to calculate the rebate. The line amount is determined after applying the line discount and before applying taxes.
• Rebate/Unit: A fixed rebate amount will be granted for each unit sold. This amount will be added to the rebate amount calculated using the Rebate %.

Posting and Billing

The settlement data for the rebate generated from the rebate rate.

• Rebate Settlement Group: Specifies a settlement group code linked to this rebate rate agreement, where you can define the settlement method and custom accounting accounts. If left blank, the system retrieves the information from the general configuration.

Note

Before generating the first direct rebate entry, ensure that the settlement groups are correctly configured and assigned to the price agreements.
